Grow meat with pure sand

Some people worry about the nutrition of meat. There should be no nutrition in the sand. Will the meat grow thinner?

According to my own experience, I am not thin at all. First of all, unlike animals, plants have special skills in photosynthesis and can be completely self-sufficient without external nutrition. I remember that when I was at school, there was a Hermont experiment in the science textbook. If you are interested, you can check the information.

In addition, the origin of meat will not be as worried as we do when we grow it. We are afraid that we will treat others badly. Most of them grow in bad conditions, such as mountains, deserts and Gobi. As a result, strange growth patterns have evolved. Although most of the meat has been domesticated and bred artificially, their tenacious vitality is still intact.

Moreover, sand is originally composed of weathered and broken particles of all kinds of minerals, rocks and other messy things, and the main component is silica, that is, quartz. But different regions, sand composition is not exactly the same, sometimes it will be mixed with broken shells, broken ore, we all know that there will be diamonds in the sand.

Sea sand is not recommended, there is salt in it.

Of course, some meat lovers can also add some nutrition by themselves, the rotten base fertilizer is the best, and all kinds of nutrition flower market greenhouses are also available for sale.

These are the leaves I planted in my own sand.

There is another problem, that is, watering.

To keep the sand fluffy and fluffy, the correct way is to pour water into the tray under the flowerpot as we do when we soak the pot, so that the sand absorbs water upward. In general, meat friends will certainly prepare several plastic flowerpot chassis at home, so use them all.

Plant roots have the habit of growing from water to fertilizer. Water is in the lower layer of sand, just like nature. Plant roots will work harder to grow downwards in order to drink water.

Special notes (⊙ o ⊙)! Be sure to pay attention! If there are too many leaves, or the container is too big, or there is no hole at the bottom that cannot be soaked in the basin, watering can be sprayed slowly with a spray can, a little bit of trouble, but the sand will still be fluffy, do not water directly! The landlord now uses plastic washbasins, that is, he sprays them all the time, every day.

A friend asked me earlier that the sand caked and it was hard. In addition to the watering problem, it was possible that there was too much silt in the sand. We chose the sand with larger particles as far as possible.

Let's have a little bit of [hair root method], which I have studied for a long time, which works very well. first of all, make a hole in the sand, the sand is very fluffy, oh, just use your fingers.

Squat in the meat to be inserted

This is good, the root is super fast, the permeability of the sand itself is very good, and the humidity is maintained very well, so you don't have to worry about whether it will be stuffy or not. if it is a very large piece of meat, or a tall meat with a pole, it is not recommended to use sand and cannot be fixed. Sand is suitable for some stone lotus, relatively short, flat, crawling, meat.

This is inserted before, and it looks good. I think the shop floor can be omitted if you use sand.

This is a little personal experience. I hope it will be of some help to you.
